The operating system must prevent remote devices that have established a non-remote connection with the system from communicating outside of the communication path with resources in external networks.

Description
This control enhancement is implemented within the remote device (e.g., notebook/laptop computer) via configuration settings not configurable by the user of the device. An example of a non-remote communications path from a remote device is a virtual private network. When a non-remote connection is established using a virtual private network, the configuration settings prevent split-tunneling. Split-tunneling might otherwise be used by remote users to communicate with the information system as an extension of the system and to communicate with local resources, such as a printer or file server. The remote device, when connected by a non-remote connection, becomes an extension of the information system allowing dual communications paths, such as split-tunneling, in effect allowing unauthorized external connections into the system. This is a split-tunneling requirement that can be controlled via the operating system by disabling interfaces.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-216366r959010_chk)

Determine if the "RestrictOutbound" profile is configured properly: # profiles -p RestrictOutbound info If the output is not: name=RestrictOutbound desc=Restrict Outbound Connections limitpriv=zone,!net_access this is a finding. For users who are not allowed external network access, determine if a user is configured with the "RestrictOutbound" profile. # profiles -l [username] If the output does not include: [username]: RestrictOutbound this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-17600r371187_fix)

The root Role is required. Remove net_access privilege from users who may be accessing the systems externally. 1. Create an RBAC Profile with net_access restriction # profiles -p RestrictOutbound profiles:RestrictOutbound> set desc="Restrict Outbound Connections" profiles:RestrictOutbound> set limitpriv=zone,!net_access profiles:RestrictOutbound> exit 2. Assign the RBAC Profile to a user # usermod -P +RestrictOutbound [username] This prevents the user from initiating any outbound network connections.
